Agreed. Ovarit would be a good platform if it were only serving as a host for these conversations, but even as a lesbian I would be uncomfortable making an LGB space in a womens' community and I imagine it's more uncomfortable for gay/bi men. It is depressing to have no space left for us as a community -- I've blocked most of the Saidit pages that aren't related to women's or gay issues because this site does have a vile userbase unfortunately

I just find it odd to have the entire platform a women’s only (almost) space, it just makes it useless if you ask me - the one thing that was good about reddit was the sheer number of users and subreddits, made it easy to find answers to things. Having circles (as they call it) being female only would have been fine with me, but its their platform so it is their choice. I don’t lament it all that much though save for the fact that s/Lesbians seems to be split in half where one half is at ovarit and the other half here. And yes there are some vile people using this site but its not like I have to interact with them. There are quite a few people I’d rather avoid at overit too though.
